Considering the state of the world today, we could all use some light relief. And, while the pandemic is no laughing matter, it does provide the opportunity to make plenty of wry observations about this "new normal".

Mamnou’ Al Tajawol and the UAE’s
Shaabiat Al Cartoon, are doing this Ramadan.
Featuring an experienced cast and writers, not only do these shows turn current anxieties into a nightly stream of knowing chuckles, but they also manage to shed light on some of the social absurdities and quirks born amid the crisis.
